Hands Up!
Heavenly scented hand creams that fade age spots and leave hands so so soft. Also, a face cream I started using on my hands.
Hello, Gorgeous!
Two things happen to me this time of year.
The first is that I fight the idea of winter and wait way too long to put on gloves. That and prepping for Thanksgiving means my hands are usually a bit chapped and in need of some extra pampering.
The second thing that happens this time of year is that I delude myself into thinking I’m shopping for everyone else, and frequently end up splurging on myself. Well, that actually happens throughout the year, but I digress.
“This would make such a good gift for….” I think as I scoop up beauty gadgets and treats. Then I realize that I probably need every single giftie way more than my friends or family do. And so I keep ‘em.
I suggest you do the same with these fantastic Korean skincare standouts.
W.Dressroom Hand Creams
These hand creams are subtly scented and not at all goopy. In theory, you can buy these for someone else. But at under $15 for such a lovely treat, you should probably buy a few for them, and a couple for yourself.
Scents that I love most include No. 11 White Soap, No. 26 Herb Woody (which has a note of citrus too), and No. 97 April Cotton which smells a lot like crisp linens. These were on sale last time I checked, so it’s a good time to stock up. These hand creams are also lovely to stash in guest room drawers as a treat for your visiting family.
Slightly more serious cream
Centellian 24 Madeca Cream Time Reverse is actually made for your face, but I used it on my hands by mistake and love the results. I was lax in applying SPF this summer and started to notice some blurry dark spots. While they barely show, they annoy me. I love the way this cream deeply moisturized my hands and faded the look of sun damage. Only you can decide if this is worth the splurge to use on your hands, but it might be worth trying on your neck or cleavage. Notable, this brand has been around since 1968. It’s also cool that Madeca Cream Time Reverse can target things like marks made from your pillow or eyeglasses. I’ll be honest though, I’m going to keep using it on my hands and arms. Check pricing on centellian24usa.com since there are some Black Friday sales going on.
Hey. I have a question for you. Should I post some amazing Black Friday sales? I wasn’t planning on it since the lists are overwhelming, but I can pull together a few if you’d like to check them out. Let’s discuss that and hand creams in the comment section.

I love some Black Friday sales but I totally get that it's overwhelming.
I'm definitely checking out the second cream you mentioned. I'd love to read a column on body creams for the winter that can make good gifts and aren't expensive!
